I can't help contrasting this Christmas Eve with the one a year ago. I didn't have ten dollars to my name when I went out to hear you read 'The Christmas Carol, Mr. Bingle." "And now I haven't ten dollars to my name," said Mr. Bingle cheerily. "Luck is like the sun, Dick. It doesn't stay up all the time.
'D'yo think as theer's onybody in Haworth as would lend me a seet o' yan o' Miss Bronte's tales for an hour? he said, reddening furiously, as they stopped at the sexton's gate. 'Why to be sure, mon, said the sexton cheerily, pleased with the little opening for intelligent patronage. 'Coom your ways in, and we'll see if we can't oblige yo.
But, then, what greater fun than putting improvements into a home? Especially when it can be done by the family, without expense! So Mr. and Mrs. Chick fell to work right cheerily, and dug the hole deeper with their beaks. They didn't leave the chips on the ground before their doorway, either. They took them off to some distance, and had no heap near by, as a sign to say, "A bird lives here."
Dinies kept as pets cheerily gnawed away wood and got at the nails of which their boxes were made. They ate the nails. Then, being free, they extended their activities. They and their friends tunneled busily through the colonists' houses. They ate nails. They ate screws.
Then they have their musket and accoutrements, and the "forty rounds" at their backs. Patiently, cheerily tramping along, going they know not where, nor care much either, so it be not in retreat.

"Easiest thing I do," boasted the new arrival cheerily. "'Lo, Mrs. Doyle.
"My dear friend," said he, "you hear confessions this evening, do you not?" "Most certainly. Are you well this morning? I had a good congregation at mass." Having said this, I finished my thanksgiving, put my alb into the wardrobe, and, offering a pinch to the rector, added cheerily: "This is not breaking the fast, is it?" "Ha! ha! no, no, no!
He had not said a word since her entrance. "Never mind what they say, Sarah," he told her cheerily, "just tell your old brother about it; looks are not the most important thing in this world, are they?" "Aunt Trudy said my mother wouldn't know me," explained Sarah, winking back the tears for her poor sore face smarted at the touch of salt.
But venturing a second glance into her face, he saw that she was smiling sweetly through her blushes. "No apology is needed, Max," she said cheerily. "My brothers are always ready with a kiss for mamma and sisters. And, since I am not old enough to be your mother, you will let me be your older sister; won't you?" "Oh, thank you, yes!" said Max. "Papa, let me carry the parcels.
